Flash :: Help On Making A Promtional CD

Making A Grid And Making It Mask Images
Hey guys,
I have this code below and i am trying to make each of these movie clips dynamically mask an image. For some reason it still does not work. I can get the grid to come out correctly but the masking is suspect. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you

num=0;

for (i=0; i<12; i++){
for (j=0; j<45; j++){

this.createEmptyMovieClip("a"+num, num)
this.createEmptyMovieClip("b"+num, num+1)
//trace(num);
//trace("IMAGE DEPTH: " + this["b"+num].getDepth());

this["a"+num].attachMovie("thelinked", "thelinked2", num);
this["b"+num].attachMovie("thelinkedimage", "thelinkedimage2", num+1);

mc=this["a"+num]["thelinked2"];
image=this["b"+num]["thelinkedimage2"];

mc._x=i*12;
mc._y=j*12;
image._x=i*12;
image._y=j*12;

image.setMask(mc);

num++;
}
}

Making A Box Out Of Nothing
I'm trying to make a box that is "drawn" starting from a dot. I want it to start as a dot that stretches down into a line, than splits left and right, goes to a point, they both turn down, than turn again at the bottom and meet in the middle. I've tried tweening it, but it gets frigged up. What can I do? Using a mask sounds like a pain in the butt.

Making Sure
hi all,
any way i can make sure that my movie is running in the right page and not being opened directly from a search engine link?

the page i should run in is a named frame page but i'm not sure about the flash side of it

Making The Fps Go Up
i am making a movie with 185 frames where each frame has a 150kb picture. no matter how i set the frame rate for the movie, the movie will onl play at 8 fps. How do i increase this fps? When I try to run the movie, it goes reall slow at first but then speeds up latter. Somethings it even speeds up and slows down consantly. It is because the pictures and to big and my computer can't handle it. I have a 800mhz imac.

A response is appreciated

How Would I Go About Making This...
http://www.users.totalise.co.uk/~rpr...h/calender.swf

I want to make a calender just like that. I am primarily focused on how you click on a date and the information pops up (and stays) on the large blank empty space.

In other words, I don't need something exactly like it, I just want to know how to:

1. Click on something
2. Info appears on a space on the page
3. Info stays there

Thanks for your help.

Making Something...
Ok hello

I have made a symbol (button) and it is a circle (BTW, complete n00b to actionscript here). Now, I want the circle to move whenever the mouse is over the circle.

I tried going into the Over frame and typing this:

BTW: Instance name is Movie

if (_root_Movie_xpos == _root_xmouse) {
_root_Movie_xpos = _root_Movie_xpos + 25;
if (_root_Movie_ypos == _root_ymouse) {
_root_Movie_ypos = _root_Movie_ypos - 25;
}
}

Now, I know that won't work. Could someone help me out?

Also, could you label every line with what it means so I can learn

Thanks

HELP With Making It BIG
Hi!

How can I get my flash movie to fill the entire browser window? I've heard there is a java script for this? Is there a quick and easy way rather than trial and error and manual resizing?

Thanks

Making Sure Im Doing This Right
First off, Im sure this has been answered here quite a bit, but I still don't know exactly what I am looking for, so its hard to say which post/tut I should look at.

Im still pretty new to flash, but in the past few long nights I have made a ton of progress.

Im in the middle of designing a website, and right now Im doing everything on one long timeline, but I want to do this the right way, so here goes my situation...

Ive got about 10 navigation buttons that are entering the screen area one at a time using a nice little tween, as soon as one gets half way to its designated location, another one begins the prosess of moving to its location, and so on.

Instead of doing this on one long timeline, I "think" I need to create a movie symbol for each button containing the tween and all. I have done this and it works just fine.

Now, I created an actions layer and placed a blank movie called container in the exact spot that I want each of these button movies to begin. Im pretty sure I am still on the right track.

Here is where I get iffy, and I appologize for not finding this answer here on flashkit because Im sure its already been covered tons of times. First, do I load each movie into this "container" after the previous movie finishes playing? What action script do I write, and where should I place it? Does each movie call the next movie sequentially until all the nav buttons are in place and then return control back to the next frame in the timeline?

If someone could just set me straight.

Help Making A CD
Hi.

I want to create a flash presentation which will load various data that's on a CD linked from the buttons on the interface.

I want to load a PDF when you click one button. This I think I've figured out - the getUrl command will do this won't it?

I also want to load WMV video files that are on the CD. What command do I use for this? If I use getUrl it comes up with the dialogue "File download, security warning". Is there any way around this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers,

Phil.

SOS My .fla Is Making Me Dork Out
Okay, here's the problem: my opening animation begins, and part of it is my buttons sliding in from the right. Once there, the idea is that you click on a button, bringing up the appropriate section within the same .swf.

So, I whipped up a quick-and-dirty fade-in text animation for my Contact section, made it into a movie clip ... and no combination of placement and ActionScript has succeeded in making the bloody thing work! Aaaaaah! I have the feeling that part of the problem is that there might be the right sort of organisation to my file, but at this point, I just can't wrap my head around it.

If a kind soul here wants to have a look at the .fla in question, you can download it from:

http://users.eastlink.ca/~pdeniger/Movie2.fla

On that file, I've taken out all the related button ActionScript, and the offending MC ('Contacttext') hasn't been placed anywhere.

TIA!!!

Making Screensavers

Making A Counter
Is there an easy way to make a counter for mywebsite and have the counter update a .txt file that i could view?
thanks.

Making A Random Arc
If an actionscript knows the x & y coordinates of a starting point for a moving MC and the x&y coordinates of its ending point, is there a way to make the MC move in an arc up and then down to the ending point? The x&y coordinates of the start and end points would change based on user keyboard/mouse events.... Can anyone point me in the right direction to look? Thanks....

Help Making Intro
I'm almost complete with my site but its missing an intro.. I've seen quite a few that use a strobe type effect? Can anyone point me in the direction of any good tutorials or help me create a fancy flash intro?

Need A Little Help Making It Got Right To Left.
onClipEvent (load) {
BinaryNumbers.duplicateMovieClip("BinaryNumbers2", 1000);
BinaryNumbers2._x = BinaryNumbers_x+BinaryNumbers._width;
BinaryNumbersStartx = this._x;
BinaryNumbersSpeed = 13;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x -= BinaryNumbersSpeed;
if (this._x<=(BinaryNumbersStartx-BinaryNumbers._width)) {
this._x = BinaryNumbersStartx-BinaryNumbersSpeed;
}
}

Well I have tryed all i can which with my limited knowlege of Acitonscript is prob not a lot, but this code above makes a great seamless animation of a row of binary numbers across my screen. Works great going from right to left..but I am also wanting for another row to go from left to right and I for the life of me cannot get it to repopulate when it runs out of the duplicate. below is the best attempt I got at changing the code. with this it makes the duplicate on the left side like it should but after the duplicate gets across the screen it will not make a new duplicate to make it appear seamless. Can anybody please help.

onClipEvent (load) {
BinaryNumbers.duplicateMovieClip("BinaryNumbers2", 1000);
BinaryNumbers2._x = BinaryNumbers_x-BinaryNumbers._width;
BinaryNumbersStartx = this._x;
BinaryNumbersSpeed = 15;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x += BinaryNumbersSpeed;
if (this._x<=(BinaryNumbersStartx-BinaryNumbers._width)) {
this._x = BinaryNumbersStartx-BinaryNumbersSpeed;
}
}

i believe the only change i made was in the third line. If anybody would like a small fla file to show what i am trying to do let me know and I will shoot it off to you. thanx in advance guys.
